Cool, I guess. But unless it transforms, I can't love it. I like it (A little) Like I liked the Starscream one. The problem here is a rather simple one. The Transformer/G-I Joe universe EXISTS. There are Comics to prove it. The Starwars/Transformers Universe, however, holds absolutely NOTHING in or on itself Comic-wise or other. There isn't even a story behind it. They arn't even Cybertronian. It's just SW Tech manipulated by the force IIRC. The Marvel/TF Universe Definately Exists. I have a copy of "The Avengers meet the Transformers" And I love it. At the end, they even aquire some Cybertronian tech. What with Dr. Doom being involved and him being the main Bad guy in the Marvel Crossover line, I can put 2 and 2 together. They built all those suites after the TFs left. Makes sense. On to GI Joe. Not only do the Universes collide, but the TFs themselves TRANSFORM into Joe and Cobra Vehicles! So why can't we get a transforming cobra Starscream with a Cobra Commander Pilot? A Tank Megatron Manned by Destro? An Ironhide driven by Duke? These things are VERY possible, Could make a crapload of money, and I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't done it yet! This is why I like the HA Basics so much...It fills the void...

I saw this earlier, but I didn't see the "Shockwave-like" gun. Very cool.
I have all the other incarnations of this HISS Tank (brown, black, and crimson) - so why stop now!
I actually DO hope this isn't too popular. Maybe then I can get one!

I agree, Beastprowl. With the Human Alliance toy line we know it can work, although those figures are notably smaller than G.I. Joe figures, so maybe its a cost thing (bigger Joes means bigger TFs means more cost). It is a line both Joe and Transformer fans have been antisipating for about 20 years now. Funny its taken this long, really.

"No word on which GI Joe character he will be paired with."
well, why not just pair him with... Shockwave

(yes, i know he's on the other team)

For my 40th birthday, the wife's letting me go to SDCC so I'll probably pick this up just because...
Would rather have the SS crossover from last year but seeing the SW cannon clearly helps elevate the "want this" factor.

Hmmm.
I might, if I have a chance. I do love Shockers, and have quite the collection of 25th figures. We'll see.

Neato! It doesn't look like it transforms but it's a very acceptable concept alt mode for Shockwave. That photo does it justice too.
A successful crossover in my opinion.

I love this.
I stopped collecting Joe a while ago, but I would consider getting this, and going back and getting the red & black versions of this tank (which I always thought were a fantastic update) just to group them.
Bravo Hasbro.
Now ... make one that transforms and I'll be all in.

I always thought shockwave would be chilling with Dr.Mind Bender....ya know both wearing purple and being mad scientist. Alas Im a whore for all things g.i.joe/transformers/comicon. I have the starscream still in his box I think the packaging is the coolest thing about it. So Ill be getting this as well probably paying way too much for it. COBRA!

I just read my previous post from back in Feb, and I did go back and grab the Red & Black Hiss Tanks. I even cleared off a section of shelving just for the 3 HISS tanks to sit on.
I'm really excited for this!
